Been going since 8.30 last night - 12lb butt - my maverick alarm woke me at 1am when temp dropped below 200F. opened the vent a fraction and turned the alarm off - wasn't going out, just a bit cool. Woke this morning to heavy rain :( with the grate…

I'm a relatively new egger, have done one overnight pork butt before, and tonight is time for the second (I'm in London and it's for an Olympics party )
What I do is load up the egg with lump (minus the amount you can fit in a weber chimney start…

Thanks! Two 10lb butts so 20 in total. Ready with the FTC!
I'm a little worried about holding the temp; I did lo and slow ribs at the weekend and the vent was literally shut to maintain 120c 225f with the only air through the vent handle hole bit!

Thanks everyone. I've started on the speech now, and it's definitely erring on the emotive, sincere side. Have managed a few jibes at the groom's expense though.
Bad inappropriate speech - reminds me of Four Weddings and a Funeral (English film y…
